And I’ll be there virtually! Nervously virtually!
You know what’s awkward? Me. I’m awkward. My heights of awkwardness are usually attained in front of groups of people, i.e., in college when I had to get up in front of the class and give a presentation. I gesture wildly with my hands and talk very, very fast. The worst presentation, though–and this is on an unrelated note as we waltz into the world of tangents–was in my….oh, lets say it was one of my public relations classes in college. I was in front of the class, rambling on about something, when without any warning at all, my nose dripped.
It literally just dripped. Bloop. Snot. Right onto my note cards.
I. Was. Horrified.
I don’t think that anyone noticed. At least, my friends in the class never copped to seeing it but that moment in time is just FROZEN in my brain. Drip. Splat. Shoooooooot.
Anyway.
Penn State University holds a BookFest every year for authors local to the grand ole commonwealth of Pennsylvania. At the beginning of this year, I applied to be one of the featured authors. And now there’s a pandemic! And I have pandemic hair! So of course this is the year that I’m a featured author!
But never fear: Zoom is here! So, instead of making us all drive to Penn State University in 90 degree weather, it’s virtual. July 9, 2020, 4pm EST. All you have to do is register–and that’s because it’s 2020 and we can’t have nice things because of Zoom-bombing. But come! Join us!! I have no idea what I’m going to say and hopefully my nose doesn’t drip, but we can all be pretty sure I’ll ramble and fool with my hair. As one does.
The registration form is here.
You can check out the BookfestPA website for more information on the events and authors who will be attending here.
Again: July 9, 2020, 4pm EST.
I don’t want to say I’m a nervous wreck, but I’m a nervous wreck. Happily, I’m continuing my current/ongoing obsession with Hamilton by FINALLY SIGNING UP FOR Disney+ so I can watch and rewatch it with obsession equal only to my 90s obsession with Newsies. You got me, Disney. I said you’d never take my money and yet, here were are. Me just throwing money at you.
Well played, Disney. Well played.
